From the Republican standpoint, it would have to. The 1958 elections proved that party organization work is a fulltime job, that last-minute campaign efforts are not enough. President Eisenhower, entering the campaign in its last weeks, notably failed-as he had failed in 1954-to reverse the Democratic trends in California, West Virginia, Kansas, Iowa and Colorado (and Ike's own Pennsylvania Congressman, Republican...
